@UnholyThirst What do you mean by “such”? Are you asking why I notice people, or why I try to avoid seeming as if I’m staring?

If you’re asking about people-watching, I do so for the obvious reasons. I might admire something about a person’s appearance, such as clothing or haircut. I may think that two people seem happy together and simply enjoy seeing that. Someone might look familiar, and I try to remember how I know him/her.

Why do avoid looking for too long? Because nobody wants to be stared at. It’s unsettling.

Some years ago, I worked in an office high-rise across the street from an apartment building. There was this guy who was very fond of using his balcony while stark naked. Whenever he was outside in his “birthday suit,” the first person to spot him would yell “Naked Guy!” down the hallway. The gals would come running for a peek, some of them with binoculars or opera glasses. Really, we were just having fun and breaking the stress of a workday. We always had a good laugh.
